Provenance |
The Allihn condenser or bulb condenser or simply reflux condenser is named after Felix Richard Allihn. The Allihn condenser consists of a long glass tube with a water jacket. A series of large and small constrictions on the inside tube increases the surface area upon which the vapor constituents may condense, maximizing thermal contact with the cooling water. Ideally suited for laboratory-scale refluxing. |
